Federal State.
Lcde Senator Gives Timely
Warning To His Colleagues
We wish we were able to buy one hundred plaques with this state­ment
from the late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin printed in
gold thereon so we could give one to each member of the United States
Senate:
"A Senator who is aware of treason but who refuses
to expose the dangerous unpleasant facts for fear that he
will be politically scarred and bloodied if he does, is ac­tually
guiltier of a greater treason than the traitors them­selves.
Every Senator has the duty to use the means pro­vided
by the Constitution to protect the people who have
entrusted him with the task of manning the watch-towers
of this nation."
It was in fearlessly exposing these "dangerous unpleasant facts"
that Senator McCarthy forfeited his own life, and for his great courage
is surely entitled to deliver this warning to those of his former colleagues
who have shown no such conception of their responsibility to the people
who elected them.
In either event, it was a case of heads they win and tails we lose.
The Invisible Rulers or World Planners have but one ultimate and
determined objective for the United States and that is to project us into
One-World Government through the medium of the United Nations. It
matters little to them which unit of our one-party-two-name system
is employed to undermine our Republic and construct a Global Slave
State on its ruins. That was up to the electorate.
The prerequisite to this impending plunge into One-World Govern­ment
is that the American people be stripped of their freedom through
Socialistic legislative enactments and robbed of their substance through
extortionate and outrageous tax levies and we can be dead sure that
a bang-up job would have been done in this regard no matter which
candidate had won the election.
Neither candidate faced up to this threat to our national existence,
or even admitted that there was such a threat. Neither gave any warn­ing
of danger on this score nor promised any help in preserving the
Republic as "one nation, indivisible, under God" against eventual in­clusion
into the Godless cabal of a One-World State.
In a terrible national disaster such as we now face, it i.:S easy !;-...,
place the blame and pass the buck but post-mortems and alibis are strict-ly
academic now. ·

Millions of Americans Think it - The Southern Conservative Says It

Bible Revisionists
Show Up In Philippines
Some years ago when a special
committee, many of whose mem­bers
were known to have Commun­ist
front affiliations, decided to re­write,
change and distort the mean­ing
of the Bible, it was thought
that this wns strictly an American
undertaking.
Americ~n Taxpayers Forced To
Finance Communist Institution
A television management custom
which makes us see red possibly
because of the "Red" implications
involved, presents left wing com­ment~
tors nine~y eight per cent of
the time with no explanation or
apology. But let a patriotic Ameri­can
appear on the program to give
vital information to the American
people about subversive elements
directing government policies, and
invariably the warning is given
that "the views of the speaker do
not necessarily represent those of
the network". Certainly they don't,
but the views of the pro-Red speak­ers
do.
But now it seems to be spread­ing
to other countries.
On October 11, a press dispatch
with a Manila dateline, said that
the 73-year-old Pangasinan, the old­est
Bible translation in the Philip­pines,
was being rewritten by a
group known as the American Bible
Society.
When the planners get through
with re-making; the world even the
Holy Word of God will have gone
down in the re-shuffle.
"When you have to go to the
polls and choose between a louse
and a flea, it is very discouraging,"
says a Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
housewife who is a subscriber to
the Southern Conservative.
Here is some joyous news for
American taxpayers, many of whom
are hard put to pay their own bills
much less lay aside something for
the proverbial rainy day.
On September 29th the Associ­ated
Press carried a story with a
Washington dateline announcing
that the United States had just
made a grant of $350,000.00 to Yu­goslavia
"to aid that country's de­velopment
of atomic energy for
peaceful purposes."
For lack of information to the
contrary, we suppose that the as­surance
that their atomic energy
would be used for ''peaceful pur­poses"
was contained in Tito's per­sonal
word to the President during
their conference when Mr. Eisen­hower
was attending the session
of the United Nations sometime
ago.
How much Mr. Tito's word
means is anybody's guess but ours
is that if it suited the purpose of
his Communist bosses in the Krem-
The U.S. News & World Report
editorially asked the question:
"What's wrong with Congress?"
and then devoted many pages and
thousands of words in interviews
from various members of that body
giving the answer. In our opinion
it could have been disposed of
briefly in this manner: "What's
wrong with Congress?" Answer: A
majority of its members.
lin Tito would not hesitate to con­vert
it into weapons to be turned
against the United States.
It was explained that $150,000.00
of the grant was to go to the Com­munist
institution known as the
Boris Kidric Institute.
Words are inadequa~e to express
an American's revulsion to this dis­sipation
of American money in the
interest of a Communist dictator
but it seems that no power on earth
can stop it.
The Panamanian flag which the
President of the United States re­cently
ordered flown alongside that
of the Stars and Stripes, had no
sooner started waving than Pan­ama
Labor Union members work­ing
for the U.S. government there
demanded the same rate of pay as
that prevailing in this country. As
they saw it, equality of sovereignty
-equality of pay. Another case of
a little more meddling bringing on
a little more trouble for poor old
bedeviled Uncle Sam.
Freedom·Loving Americans-1continued hm P•g• 11
The coldblooded truth is that we are merely paying the price in
this election year of 1960 for a quarter century's collective folly on the
part of the leaders and the people of the United States, both of whom
are equally guilty.
· For twenty-five years an overwhelming majority of the American
people have calmly stood by and looked on with smug complacency
as the White House, the Supreme Court and the Congress have slowly
but relentlessly whittled down the inherent freedoms of the citizen,
hacked away at the Constitutional rights of the States and slashed prop­erty
rights, one by one, with the result that we have finally been paid
off in the accepted political coin of the realm.
Exec~~iv~ ~~dh~~e t~/~~~r~~ 7~~c~h~e ~:x~:~~; ~:~~~. ~~?s ~~~kio~fy t~:
credited to the eternal verity of the ages which firmly decrees that when
erring humanity sows the wind, it must inevitably reap the whilrwind.
At any rate, we find ourselves saddled with a bold and unabashed
champion of the total Welfare State who will act as President of our
once free Republic and who, from his own statements, plans during
his administration to convert the Federal government into a vast philan­thropic
and charitable agency and to transform the national Treasury
into a glorified Community Chest.
Not that great strides have not already been made in this direction
for, in all hones:y, they have, but the frequent violent assaults hereto­fore
aimed at the American governing system may be expected, under
a full-fledged Collectivist administration, to burgeon into an incessant
bombardment which could level our State and National institutions to
the ground and shatter every concept of limited government which the
founding fathers so faithfully fashioned.
Unless restrained by the powerful force of the United States Senate
which, after all, is our legislative Court of Last Resort, the economic
policies of the next administration will be laid down by dangerous and
fanatical economists from Red-tinged universities and by Moscow-trained
leaders from the field of Union Labor.
Every crack-brained theory ever dreamed up by wild-eyed revolu­tionaries
will be hauled out and offered as the basis for legislative action
and the Marxist platform adopted at Los Angeles will serve as the blue­print
for administration leaders who will see even in the close election
returns a mandate for severing the last remaining ties with Constitutional
Government and for officially proclaiming National Socialism as our ac·
cepted form of government and way of life.
There's a lot of weeping and wailing over the fact that the "worst"
of two evils was elected instead of the "least" but their lamentations
will be silenced and their tears will soon dry if they will only think
back and remember that the American people tried that in 1952 and again
in 1956 and it didn't work.
For, let them not forget that there is little in the way of lost freedol!l
thai: the American citizen didn't suffer at the hands of "Modern Repubh­canism"
through increased spending and giving away of their money to
foreign countries, seeing their beloved Republic shoved closer and closer
to the horrible abyss of One-World Government; watching the inherent
Rights of the States taken away and having bayonets rammed in their
backs by Federal tyrants when they sought to exercise their Constitu­tional
authority to run their own affairs.
There is a prevalent and widely held belief, in fact- whose sound­ness
we are not prepared to challenge - that this nation had to hit the
bottom before it could bounce back up. Very few responsible Americans
will deny that with the adoption of a Welfare State in prospect, we've
just about hit bottom.
There are even those who feel that if we had elected Stevenson in
1952, the American people would have been shocked into such revulsion
that we would now be far back on the way to a return of Constitutional
Government.
Surely in the dark hours which 1oom ahead the American people
will take careful stock of their splendid heritage of freedom and of their
God-given right to shape their own destiny rather than trusting this
sacred responsibility to Washington bureaucrats.
Surely there are no honorable means under God's great canopy
that they wouldn't employ to protect and preserve these rights.
If that is true, their first job is to get to work on their two United
States senators and warn them that they must live up to their oath of
office and stop dead in its tracks any Socialistic proposal by soft-headed
intellectuals and starry-eyed dreamers who will blossom out like wild
buttercups all over Washington in the years immediately ahead.
Don't write them just once and then go back to sleep. Keep in
constant touch with them through letters, telegrams or even telephone
conversations when the occasion justifies.
After all, no person in his right mind would hire domestic servants
and turn the house and the kitchen over to them with no direction or
supervision whatever. Why should they trust a public servant whom
they have employed to protect their freedom to do the job with no in~
struction or advice on their part when the issues involved in the latt~r
position may mean the difference between the survival of the Repubhc
or its total collapse?
The men who wrote the Constitution of the United States not only
went back to the beginning of history in their search for a pattern of
government on which to construct a model for our own, but they also
looked ahead and anticipated the danger from power-mad politicians
who would seek to amend, undermine and subvert the instrument which
they had wrought. Because of this they tried to form a government
which, through proper balances and limitations, would provide a struc­ture
which would endure long after others had toppled throughout the
world, and to do this they made freedom of the citizen their first con­sideration
and held government power to the minimum.
Their apprehensions will come nearer to fulfillment in the days
to come than at any other time in history and the governing system
which they left us will be subjected to constant and deadly attack by
undesirable elements of our society who value human freedom lightly
and who are without respect or regard for our limited Constitutional
system.
In our humble opinion the challenge must be met first by a unified
demand that the United States Senate perform the function for which
it exists and serve as a checkrein on the unwise, unsound and destructive
legislative proposals and, second, that Conservative Americans begin
now to search out a national leader whose stature as a statesman is un ..
questioned and unite behind him in an all-out fight to restore their in ..
alienable rights and freedoms to the people of the American Republic.

The inference was plain that if
Johnson failed to get the nomina·
tion on the ticket as a candidate
for President, the wrath of these
two leaders would be visited on
those States whose delegates were
responsible for his defeat, through
the mani pulation of legislation in
the two Houses of Congress.
Now, the jobs of Minority Leader
of the Senate and Speaker of the
House of Representatives are strict~
ly party designations conferred on
the holders of these titles by the
political party temporarily in con­trol
of Congress.
It was never intended that the
holders of these two offices were
to be vested with the authority to
use the lawmaking body of the
United States as a weaoon to pun·
ish their personal or political enem~
ies or to clobber their opponents
over the head for political action
which they disapproved and yet
that is exactly what the Senate Ma·
joritv Leader and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives tacit·
ly threatened by their public utter­ances
last July.
"Government by Threat" was
also apparently resorted to by At­torney
General of the United
States, William P. Rogers, in deal·
ing with the sitdown strikes by
Negroes demanding service at
White lunch counters in depart·
rnent stores in the south.
Repeatedly the heads of the com­panies
operating these department
stores asserted their rights as pri·
vate propert}t owners to serve
whom they pleased and to refuse
service at their own discretion.
Then the owners or their repre­sentatives
were summoned to the
office of the Attorney General of
the United States in Washington
for a "conference" and while the
proceedings at that "conference"
have remained top-secret, following
it many of the owners suddenly
changed their minds and their lunch
counters in the South integrated,

ed as suffering financially as a re­sult

Therefore, national legislation on
the subject would seem t o be the
only effective way to check the
infiltration of our schools by So·
viet propaganda which is causing
hundreds of thousands of young
Communist sympathizers to be
turned out each year.
Any American who does not be·
lieve that this is true is invited to
have a heart-to-heart talk with col·
lege-age members of his family and
find out for himself what these
young people's views are on our
magnificent system of Constitution·
al Government as opposed to a So·
cialist Welfare State such as that
which prevails in Russia.
If you live in a city of a hundred
thousand population or over, you
should visit your library some day
and learn what type of books are
in the majority there. If you are
familiar with subversive writers,
you will probably find enough of
this type of books to infiltrate the
whole city. The works of very few
patriotic Americans are on library
shelves as a rule.
The duties of the Attorney Gen­eral
are clearly defined by statute
and limited to his responsibility as
prosecutor or defender in law suits
involving the Federal government.
Certainly he is nowhere authorized
to intimidate sovereign citizens into
indulging in social practices per­sonally
repulsive to them or to the

We submit that the employment
of high office in any agency of the
government as a means of punish~
ment of political enemies or coer·
cion in reversing social customs is
a vicious perversion of the intents
of the American governing process
and a practice which can only re·
suit in eventual anarchy, chaos and
disorder.
What to do?
Instead of making the obvious
legal ruling that the law stated
that any school which integrated
without first being approved in an
election called for the purpose
would be denied State funds and
since Houston citizens had repudi­ated
integration by a large major­ity,
State funds would be denied
to the Houston school board, Mr.
At any rate the Attorney Gen·
era! took himself off the hot seat
and was enabled to return to the
serious business of campaigning for
Kennedy and Johnson.
But after all, the Jaw is being jug­gled
around to mean anything so·
cial-minded judges want it to mean,
so why shouldn't the highest legal
authority of a Sovereign State do a
little juggling himself?
Dead Men Again Prove Handy
In Campaign Involving Johnson
One of the most explosive inci·
dents in connection with the Pres·
idential campaign in Texas was the
publishing of a list of approximate­ly
3500 in a Dallas newspaper pur·
porting to be friends and support·
ers of the Johnson-Kennedy ticket
just a few days before election,.
The paper had no sooner than
hit the streets until denials start·
ed popping like firecrackers. The
protests were from citizens who
said they not only had not author·
ized their names to be put on the
list but that they were support­ing
the opposition. Reports various­ly
estimated the number of those on
the list without authority as from
800 to 2000.
One Dallas citizen filed suit for
a half million dollars damage ac·
cording to the press and others
were expected to follow suit.
It seems that the enthusiastic
Kennedy-Johnson partisans who
compiled the list employed the
joint campaign tactics of Kansas
City's Pendergast and those of Boss
Parr of Texas' notorious Jim Wells
County, both of whom found dead
men of great value in a hot political
contest.
More than forty of the names on
the list are reported to have be·
longed to those who departed this
life as far back as three or four
years ago thus neutralizing some·
what their opportunity for active
participation in the Kennedy-John·
son campaign.
Public pleas to Johnson to ex­press
regret for the affair met with
silence on his part. After all, what
could he say in the face of the Box
13 incident in 1948 when the bal­lots
of 87 dead Mexicans had to
be requisitioned to save his skin
in the Senate race.
The close victory of the Ken­nedy-
Johnson ticket in Texas is re­garded
as indication that the day
of the two·party system in the
Lone Star State may not be too
far away. But first there will ac·
tually have to be two parties in
the nation and not just one party
with two divisions, before a two­party
system can prevail in any
State. As it is now, the American
electorate must vote according to
party labels without regard to what
is in the can.

The word was "diminution"

A Vote For 'Forei9n Aid' Is A
Vote Against American Industry
The immorality, corruption and downright insanity of the "foreign
aid" program is almost beyond human understanding.
Since World War II, we have given away uncounted billions of
dollars to alien nations, friend and foe alike, which has enabled them
to build up their economy to the point where they are putting one Amer­ican
industry after another on the rocks.
This idiotic procedure is in pursuance of One World Socialism in
which we ''share the wealth" as advocated by Karl Marx in an attempt
to "level off" the economy of all nations and equalize the standard of
living all over the world.
As is frequently pointed out, many of these foreign countries which
are the beneficiaries of "foreign aid" are much better off than the
United States and, in return for past favors, and as a matter of actual
justice, should be helping us to get on our feet and discharge the almost
$300,000,000,000.00 indebtedness which has been piled up against unborn
generations of American children.
There is no justification in the Constitution or in moral ethics for
this country to continue to pursue the destructive policy of giving away
the nation's substance which has been fastened upon us and which
bids fair to become permanent procedure.
Only the Congress of the United States can stop this violent in ..
fringement on the rights of th_e hard-working people of the nation where­in
a heavy proportion of their salaries, wages and incomes is extorted
from them and flung away across the sea.
Any public servant in Congress who continues to support this
diabolic policy of impoverishing the American people in the interest
of alien welfare is a traitor to the American Republic and to the Con­stitution
which he swore, on taking office, to uphold.
From a prominent physician in
Miami, Florida: ''The Southern Con­servative
is the very best paper
that I know anything about. I re­ceive
many good conservative
papers and all of them are doing
a fine job. However, the editorials
of the Southern Conservative are
the highest type and even the
printers do an excellent work."
Thanks to the doctor for us and
for our printers.
The Southern Governors Confer­ence
has finally and belatedly
taken constructive action. At their
recent meeting they passed a reso­lution
which called for the reversal
of this country's destructive trade
policies which have been in effect
for 25 years or since the United
States, under Roosevelt, first em­braced
Socialism. The Southern
chief executives at long last real­ized
that foreign-made goods are
destroying the American market.
Luckily The Supreme
Court Can't Change
Human Nature
While the Supreme Court of the
United States has in many in­stances
been able to us.e the ma­chinery
of government in forcing
its vile social theories on helpless
people of the South, there is no
power on earth which can compel
self-respecting white people to ac­cept
its dictation to mix with those
who are obnoxious.
The following letter which re­cently
appeared in the Charleston,
South Carolina, News and Courier,
written by 0. M. Hays of Balti­more,
Maryland, makes this point:
En route to New York on one
of the Pennsylvania's swank trains,
there was an episode that seems
to clearly point up what the inte­grationists
are up against in their
effort to umix the races."
The smoking lounge was fairly
well filled with white passengers,
men and women, whose dress and
manners spoke of "better class"
status. There was a general air of
contentment, of calm ease, in the
lounge.
Presently a Negro man entered
and took one of the seats. He was
unobtrusive in his movements. He
did nothing more than take a chair,
light a cigar and seek enjoyment
in it.
But the atmosohere of the lounge
changed, not abruptly, but by a
gradual feeling that those who had
been so contented, so satisfied, with
a pleasant journey were becoming
restless.
Presently. one by one, the pas~
sengers drifted out, until only the
Negro was left in the lounge. For
the next half hour he had the lounge
almost to himself. Only a few men
entered it, and each in turn hastily
lighted a cigarette, puffed it brief­ly
and returned to his seat in the
coach.
The Supreme Court has said the
Negro has a right to be in the
lounge, to be in the same coach as
the white passengers. But so long
as men and women, whether on
trains or in residential neighbor­hoods,
or other places of contact,
auietly remove themselves when
the Negro moves in, integration will
never become a fact.
The ahove incident occurred be­tween
Philadelphia and New York,
and it is a safe bet that I was
the onl:v Southerner in the lounge
at the time.

Novemer-Decembe~ , I 960 THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
A Type Of 'Sharing' The Repeal Of Connaly Amendment Now Poses
Do-Gooders Hadn't Planned Direct Threat To Our Internal Security
A report by the director of Hous­ton's
Social Hygiene Center, Dr. E.
M. Vanderstoep, just issued, re­veals
that there is an increase of
1000 per cent in that city's vener­eal
cases over those of 1955 and
.that 90 per cent of such cases are
Negroes.
Coming as it did on the heels of
the forced integration of two
schools in Houston as a result of
the ruling of a Federal judge, the
report was said to have caused ap­prehension
on the part of white
parents in that city since it is
known that such diseases are large­ly
prevalent among colored chil­dren
as well as adults, in the South.
The do-gooders and Reds who
started the agitation for racial mix­ing
in the schools probably forgot
or overlooked this vital fact when
they instituted their propaganda
campaign for forced integration.
Now, in addition to their Social­istic
program which advocates
"sharing the wealth" it looks like
we are now faced with a situation
in which the children of the South
will be forced to ushare the vener~
eat diseases" of a race which, un~
fortunately, looks on such afflic­tions
as no more of a calamity than
being visited by a common cold.
So They Think They Are
'Soaking The Rich'?
If the Marxists who frame our
tax laws in Washington think they
are "soaking the rich" with their
Socialistic legislation, they have
another thought coming.
There are 43,697,608 taxpayers
under the $20,000 income bracket
who pay 80 per cent of all income
taxes collected, or a total of $22,-
889,000,000.00.
There are only 490,774 taxpayers
in the income bracket above $20,-
000 who pay a total tax of $6,374,-
000,000.00 or 20 per cent of all in­come
taxes collected.
These figures were recently made
public by Congressman Noah Ma­son
of Illinois, sponsor of the 23rd
amendment before Congress for re­peal
of the Sixteenth Amendment
which provides for the levying of
an income tax, and were published
by Human Events.
When this income tax amend­ment
was adopted in 1913, it was
claimed by its Marxist sponsors
that rich people would pay the
greatest proportion of the tax but
it has turned out just the opposite.
And the smaller taxpayers are
"soaked" more heavily than those
in the higher bracket.
The Sixteenth amendment is per4
haps the greatest incentive to gov­ernmental
corruption in the history
of civilization and is responsible for
most of the economic, financial and
social ills from which the nation is
now suffering.
Congressman H. R. Gross of Iowa
has caused a lot of people to do a
double-take. He has called atten­tion
to an item in the fOreign aid
program which provides $100,000
to the government of Israel for the
purpose of teaching the people of
that country to operate banks and
loan companies.
The well~founded reasons why the Connaly Amendment to our
acceptance of the jurisdiction of the World Court should not be repealed
have been multiplied a thousand times by a recent event.
Dr. Philip C. Jessup, notorious liberal who Jeans so far to the left
~= ~h~s J~i~~~~:~t:s c~~~b~~ ~~t t;a~e~e0~::.s going, has been nominated
Dr. Jessup was one of those who huddled with Alger Hiss, Harry
Dexter White and others of their ilk at San Francisco in the Spring of
1945 when the tragic formation of the United Nations was under way.
Efforts were made to get this former Columbia law professor named
as a delegate to the 1951 session of the United Nations but the late
Senator Joseph R. McCarthy of Wisconsin bitterly opposed this appoint­ment
and the Senate refused to confirm him. In spite of that Truman
gave him an interim appointment after Congress had adjourned.
Jessup also testified at both trials of Alger Hiss and each time
spoke in behalf of Hiss, and later declared he saw no reason to change
his testimony.
Jessup was Chairman of the Pacific arid American Councils of the
Institute of Pacific Relations, an organizatidn charged by Senator Me~
earthy as "accepting Communist money to (support its projects and also
employing Communist writers and research workers." The Wisconsin
senator charged that there were 60 officials and writers of the Institute
of Pacific Relations at the time Jessup was connected with it "who have
been named as Communists or espionage agents in sworn testimony
before various Congressional committees."
Since the United States Senate does not have to confirm the ap­pointment
and the matter rests with the United Nations entirely, Jes~
sup's selection as the representative of the United States on the World
Court is a foregone conclusion and may have been announced by the
time this appears in print.
Patriotic Americans will need to renew their fight against repeal
of the Connaly Amendment immediately following the reconvening of
the next session of Congress on January 3rd. The forces backing Jessup
will move Heaven and earth to bring about this repeal and good Ameri­cans
must be on guard.
So far as we know there has been no organized protest against
the selection of Jessup to the American delegation in the United Nations
who will have to vote on the matter, but that probably. would do no good
anyway as they will no doubt be strongly in favor of a person with his
record for the job.
Constitution Specifically Limits
The Duties Of The Vice President
The left-wing columnist, Mr. Roscoe Drummond, suggests that
Mr. Kennedy will need the "powerful and indispensable" figure of Mr.
Lyndon Johnson as a legislative leader if he is to "avoid a recalcitrant
and balky Congress" in getting his program through.
Perhaps Mr. Drummond will tell his readers how the newly elected
vice president is going to perform as a "powerful and indispensable"
figure in the Senate and, at the same time, function as vice president
in view of the fact that the Constitution of the United States in Article
one, section three, strictly limits him to the following activities during
his term of office:
"The Vice President of the United States shall be President
of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally
divided."
That is what the Constitution says the Vice President shall do and
that's all it says he shall do. If it had been intended that a "powerful
and indispensable" Vice President should go around mixing with the
members of that body, advising them how to vote; buttonholing them
in cloak rooms in favor of this measure or that or lobbying for a pet
bill of the President it would have so stated in the Constitution.
As it is, his sole duty is to preside oVer the Senate and vote only
in the case of a tie.
Of course we realize that the Constitution is no longer regarded
as having much weight with the liberals and left~wingers who are in the
majority in Washington but, even so, if they are going to delegate new
and powerful authority to the Vice President, they should submit an
amendment to the Constitution outlining these new responsibilities
and prerogatives; thereby at least going through the motions of fol­lowing
Constitutional procedure.
Knoxville, Tennessee, is beauti­fying
its downtown area, according
to press reports, along the lines of
those advocated by proponents of
"urban renewal." The only differ­ence
is that the Knoxville project
is being paid for by the merchants
of that city which is as it should be.
No citizen objects to the building
of malls, flower bordered walks,
sidewalk cafes or what have you
in the downtown area of their city
so long as such undertakings are
not made part of a government pro­gram
and the CQst saddled on the
taxpayers.
New gag which the election has
engendered runs like this: "The
shortest cut to "the White House­go
to Harvard Md turn left."

No Picketing Allowed If
The Victim Is A Negl'o
In Los Angeles recently, accord4
ing to press reports, a group of
boys who were picketing the show
of the Negro entertainer, Sammy
Davis, were hastily dispersed by the
police who threatened to send them
to jail. They were picketing the
place because of the Negro's im ~
pending marriage to a White female
from Sweden, indicating that there
are still some element s of decency
in the nation's movie capital.
If these boys had been labor un­ion
eoons picketing a business con ..
cern, or if they had been young Ne­gro
thugs oicketing a white lunch4
counter, the police would have
looked the other way and would
have done nothing.
In this case, they were picket·
ing a Negro in protest against the
basest act of degeneracy in which
human beings can engage - mis­cegenation
- but the heavy hand
of the law clamped down on them
in nothing flat.
According to a press dispatch
from Paris, Pavel I. Erchov, former
Communist Ambassador to Israel
and Switzerland, has been named
deouty director-general of UNESCO
which should occasion no surprise
for the oro~Communist leaning of
this U. N. "cultural'' organization
has long been obvious from its ac·
tions.
Senator Barry Goldwater of Ari·
zona attributes the loss of the elec~
tion to Mr. Kennedy to the fact
that the Republican candidate con~
ducted a "me too" campaign. This
is perhaos true and the sad part
of it is that as long as that party
continues to run a oart~Cons e rva­tive
and part~Liberal candidate for
the office of President, their cam ..
oaigns will be on a "me too" basis.
They have some sort of perverted
idea that they have to lean to the
left to make themselves heard by
the voters but the fact is they don't
know if this is true. The American
voters have not had a chance to
vote for a Conservative in more
than a ouarter century. Maybe they
would choose a sound-thinking can ..
didate if they had a chance.
Where unconscionable knaves
and scoundrels once trafficked in
Negro flesh and sold them as slaves
from the auction block, unscruou­lous
politicians now traffic in Ne~
gro votes and promise them any ..
thing and everything on earth to
gain their ballot. This was forceful­ly
demonstrated in the campaign
which came to a close on Novem ..
ber 8.
The Republican candidate for
United States senator from Texas,
John G. Tower, running against
Lyndon Johnson, polled almost a
million votes which is unprecedent-.
ed and Republican William M. Ste­ger
opposing Governor Price Dan-­iel
received over a half miltion
votes, which is also a record in a
test between the two parties in the
State.
One of the most lethal weapons
which the Communists employ in
intimidating anti~Communists in
this country is the perpetual threat
of a "smear" against any patriot
who dares to expose their attempts
to overthrow the American govern­ment.

On May 19, 1960, the Commit­tee
for a Sane Nuclear Policy held
a rally at Madison Square Garden
in New York City. Among the
speakers at the rally, according to
the press, were Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, Mr. Walter Reuther,
Governor G. Mennen Williams of
Michigan, Dr. Harold Taylor, for­mer
president of Sarah Lawrence
College and others. Mr. Norman
Cousins is Chairman of the Com­mittee
for a Sane Nuclear Policy.
Arrangements for the meeting
were made by Henry H. Abrams
according to a report of the Sub­committee
to Investigate Internal
Security, Committee of the Judici­ary,
United States Senate.
On May 13, 1960, Mr. Abrams
was called before the above Com­mittee
regarding his alleged Com­munist
affiliations, after Mr. J. G.
Sourwine, chief counsel of the
Committee had explained: "The
Committee has received informa­tion
that an important member of
the Communist Party has been ac­tive
in making arrangements for a
mass meeting to be held at Madison
Square Garden in New York City
on Thursday, May 19."
For several hours the Committee
questioned Mr. Abrams but prac­tically
the only questions he an­swered
were those concerning his
name and address- Answers to all
others were refused on the grounds
of the first and fifth amendments to
the Constitution.
Here are samples of the ques­tions
propounded to Mr. Abrams
for hours and hours together with
his answer:
Mr. Sourwine: Are you now or
have you ever been a member of
)he Upper West Side Section of
the Communist Party of New York
City?
Mr. Abrams: I must decline to
answer that question on the
grounds already given (Fifth
Amendment).
Mr. Sourwine: Have you ever
been a member of the Young Com­munist
League?
Mr. Abrams: I must decline to
answer that question on the
grounds already given.
Mr. Sourwine: Have you ever
contributed financially to the Com­munist
Party, U.S.A.?
Mr. Abrams: I must decline to
answer that question for the
grounds already given.

27 pages of questions which he re-
One of the latest acts of desecra­tion

church have approved a Sunday
School book for young children
which pictures Jesus Christ wear­ing
knee-length golf trousers in­stead
of traditional flowing robes.
Committee for a Sane Nuclear Pol­icy
only a few days before the
Madison Square Garden meeting.
In a speech concerning the affair
delivered on the floor of the Sen­ate,
United States Senator Thomas
J. Dodd of Connecticut and vice
chairman of the Committee which
investigated Abrams said that it
was his "unpleasant duty to have
to notify them (Committee for a
Sane Nuclear Policy) that the un­publicized
chief organizer of the
Madison Square Garden rally was
a veteran member of the Commun­ist
Party; that there was also evi­dence
of serious Communist infil­tration
at chapter level through the
Committee for a Sane Nuclear Pol­icy;
that the Communist Party and
its front organizations had done
their utmost to promote the meet­ing;
that the Communists provided
much of the organizing machinery
for the meeting because they plan­ned
to use it as a pressure instru­ment
in suoport of Soviet nuclear
diplomacy."
The senator added that the
"Committee for a Sane Nuclear
Policy is headed by a group of na­tionally
prominent citizens about
whose integrity and good faith
there is no question."
If he intended to convey by this
that those connected with the Com­mittee
for a Sane Nuclear Policy
were unaware of the Communist in­filtration,
we very definitely dis­agree
with him.
It is laughable, for instance, to
assume that Eleanor Roosevelt, one
of its chief ramrods, would object
to Communists taking part in the
movement. Her record is all to the
contrary. She has been cited as
belonging to so many Communist
fronts that she probably has lost
count of them herself. If she has
ever denied such affiliation or ex­pressed
any public regret for her
pro-Communist activity, we are un­aware
of it.
At any rate, this is just one
instance of how so-called respon­sible
organizations and movements
are directed by Soviet forces and
this could be multiplied by hun­dreds
of similar cases. In fact, there
are very few liberal groups in this
country where Communist influ­ence
is not the dominating factor
and until we clean out subversion
in our own ranks, we fail to see
where we are going to make a dent
in Communism throughout the
world.
"The Communist Party in the
United States is not out of busi­ness;
it is not dead; it is not even
dormant. It is, however, well on its
way to achieve its current objec­tive,
which is to make you believe
that it is shattered, ineffective, and
dying. When it has fully achieved
this first objective, it will then
proceed inflexibly toward its final
goal" - Congressman Gordon H.
Scherer of Ohio in speech to Con­gress,
May 5, 1960.

R. Jordan appeared in the Los An­geles

Much of the turmoil in today's
Africa can be traced to the violent
Red seasoning in a witches' brew
concocted at Moscow, blended in
Ethiopia and poured into a river
of hate flooding the Dark Conti­nent.
The Soviet Union has establish­ed
a huge Communist staff at Ad­dis
Ababa, Ethiopia, where their
facilities include a combination hos­pital-
university. There, Russian­speaking
nurses and witch doctors
arc trained before infiltrating every
comer of Africa.
Long- before the Kremlin suc­ceeded
in setting up this secret
satellite in the Abyssinian jungle,
Moscow was operating a witch doc­tors'
school in which Black ·Magic
and Red Doctrine were expertly
mixed for the trainees.
The Communist-schooled witch
doctors are now fanning out into
everv valley, and village, carrying
the Kremlin's orders to the firesides
of all the tribes.
"Rise up against the white OP­pressors!",
the witch doctors shriek.
"Recover the gold, copper, uran­ium,
cobalt and diamonds needed
for national development!"
Desoite all the talk about an
"enlightened" Africa striving for
self-government, the savagery of
ancient tribal customs lingers close
to the surface in many areas of
the vast continent.
A few months ago, Ghana's Eng­lish-
educated representative to the
United Nations was called home for
a celebration to be attended by tri­bal
chiefs. There is evidence he
was put into a "stew oot" so his
wisdom could be divided among
the chiefs.
Whatever the case, he has dis­appeared,
and his disaopearance is
being ignored by the U.N. and by
Ghana.
It seems unlikely that either Cen~
tral or East Africa will really be
ready for self-government for at
least 50 years. If political power is
turned over soon to the Soviet­trained
and Mau Mau-dominated
stooges now trying to grab con­trol,
the results may be even worse
than those in the Congo.
The Congo army riots, with rape
rampant, should teach the free
world the danger of hothousing the
kind of African "nationalism" now
raising such a clamor. That kind of
strident nationalism is actually con­fined
to a small minority inspired
and financed by Soviet agents.

are being used extensively for this
purpose.
Irresponsible and emotional, they
are easily influenced to engage in
acts of violence against constituted
authority in whatever country they
reside without having the faintest
idea of the cause in which their
help is being utilized.
Riots in Japan, San Francisco,
Mexico, Turkey and Korea were
composed of adolescent students,
as were those engaging in sit-down
strikes in the South against lunch
counters and all were directed by
Communist revolutionaries seeking
by this method to stir up strife and
disunity for Soviet benefit.
It is even claimed that there are
"judo studios" strung around over
the world which instruct these stu·
dents in the Japanese art of judo
and that the students get their pra~~
tice by assaulting elderly or help­Jess
victims in back alleys. Through
a knowledge of "scientific violence"
mobs of unruly students can dom·
inate any situation and achieve vic­tory
for their Soviet masters.
In view of the lack of parental
authority over these young hood·
lums, it would seem that national
legislation covering the situation
would be invoked in the countries
affected but in the case of the
United States this would be diffi·
cult so long as labor union goons
are given perfect liberty to engage
in similar acts of violence.
It is a dangerous threat to any

opportunity now to expose Com­munist
duplicity. He called also for
affirmative leadership by the na­tion's
bar associations to improve
international relations through the
rule of law.
Pointing to the appearances of
Soviet Premier Khrushchev and
Cuba's Prime Minister Fidel Cas­tro
before the United Nations, Mr.
Seymour said: "The recent blasts
of Khrushchev and Castro in the
U.N. about colonialism would be
laughable if they did not show such
contempt for the intelligence of
their listeners. While England,
France and other so-called colonial
powers have been granting free­dom
to over 500 million people,
many of whose countries now or
soon wilt be new members of the
U.N., the Communists have freed
not one person. Freedom from
Communist rule has only been
achieved by escape or death."
One of the first things the Com­munists
do in any country where
they gain dominance is to destroy
the independence of the bench and
bar, President Seymour warned. He
called for strong support of the bar
for the United Nations, for the
World Court and "every other in­stitution
which can aid in the
peaceful settlements of disputes"
and extend the rule of law in the
world.
He also called attention to plans
of the American Bar Association's
Special Committee on World Peace
Through Law to hold a series of
international regional conferences
of lawyers to consider means of
strengthening international legal
processes. Tentative plans are to
hold such conferences starting in
1961 in Latin America, Asia, Africa
and Europe.
President Seymour took office
Sept. 2 as the American Bar Associ­ation's
84th president. His Omaha
appearance, before a banquet meet­ing
of the Nebraska State Bar As­sociation
was his first official
speaking engagement before a state
bar group.
Following are excerpts from Mr.
Seymour's address:
"The present time affords a great
opportunity for the bar to help pro­vide
needed leadership where it has
special competence. As the Com­munists
seek to impose their form
of dictatorship on other countries~
under the guis2 of friendly coopera­tion,
the lawyers should join in
sounding a warning, and in ad­vancing
the banner of a great alter­native.
We should accentuate the
positive and not the negative.
"The warning is to remind every­one
of what the Communists have
done wherever their bear hug has
been applied. Hungary and Tibet
are the most recent examples: the
countries of Eastern Europe are
earlier ones. Here the Rule of Law
has been flouted, peoples have been
enslaved, dissenters have been ex­ecuted,
sometimes with the aid of
controlled courts and always with­out
the protection of independent
counsel. Indeed one of the first
things the Communists do is to
destroy the independence of the
bench and bar. Through the Inter­national
Commission of Jurists, the
world has been informed about
many of these outrages. Its reports
on Hungary and Tibet are classic
statements of what the Commun­ists
do to freedom. The American
Bar Association has actively sup­ported
the work of the Commis­sion
since it was established.
"Against such a background, the
recent blasts of Khrushchev and
Castro in the U. N. about colonial­ism
would be laughable if they did
not show such contempt for the in­telligence
of their listeners. While
England, France and other so-called
colonial powers have been grant­ing
freedom to over 500,000,000
people, many of whose countnes
are now or soon will be new mem­bers
of the U.N., the Communists
have freed not one person. Free­dom
from Communist rule has only
been achieved by escape or death.
Instead of granting freedom from
colonialism, they have reached. far
more and more peoole to subject
to their special brand.
"But refutation and exposure is
not enough; the bar can do much
more. It is evident that strong sup­port
for the U. N. and its indepen­dent
role is called for from all who
be1ieve in the rule of law. Further-

Permanent Court of Arbitration,
now a distinguished but pale sha­dow
of its possibilities, should be
reactivated. The program of inter­national
conferences of lawyers of
our outstanding Committee on

wide support. And the modest but

The visits of more than 1000 Brit­ish

and judges and their families to
the American Bar Association meet­ing
in Washington i_n. August a!ld
their subsequent offlctal entertam­ment
in ten other American cities

"Chief Justice Simmons has,

Church Group Is Guilty Of
Ecclesiastical Blackmail
No informed or thinking Ameri­can
any longer questions the fact
that it was the Communists who
started all the agitation for racial
mixing in the South but the Reds
can now take a back seat for their
work along this line is being carried
on for them by others not connect­ed
with the Party, and especially
religious groups.
In October when the delegates
to the Disciples of Christ Church
met at Louisville, Kentucky, the
gathering, in the modern manner,
was all splattered with Negroes.
Previously the church leaders had
been assured that delegates would
"be accommocl::tted without racial
discrimination."
However. there are many decent
persons in Louisville who have not
gone along with the Soviet racial
policy which largely prevails in that
border State city. Accordingly
many Negroes were refused serv­ice
when they boldly barged into
white establishments and demand·
ed to be taken care of.
We look for the pattern of Wash­ington
society soon to be shaped
largely by the conduct of members
of the Hollywood Rat Pack as they
caper and cavort through White
House corridors.
inative private channels. More of
this sort of thing should be encour­aged.
"There is also room for a great
expansion of the program for show­ing
judges and lawyers of other
countries our legal system at work.
At the present time, they come
over under the auspices of one of
our great universities, as guests of
our government or as individual
visitors. Their visits around the
country are generally not coordi­nated
or geared to any particular
program. An American Bar Associ­ation
Committee, of which Judge
Stephen S. Chandler, Chief Judge
of the Western District of Okla­homa
is Chairman, has that whole
matter in charge. We hope that
there will be a great expansion in
the Committee's work. Visits to bar
associations and courts in various
parts of our country should be a
regular part of the program.
"Among other things, it would
be most desirable if lawyers among
the delegates from new nations to
the U. N. could participate in such
visits. Of course, some of them may
be critical of some things they see
but they could be reminded that
American visitors to their countries
might engage in friendly criticism.
We do not need to be self-righteous
to establish that we are constant­ly
striving to make our system con­form
to our ideals. The great thing
is not to achieve a synthetic ab­sence
of criticism, but to have a
common purpose to respect the dig­ity
of man, to strive constantly to
maintain liberty and to make sure
that courts do justice with complete
independence and integrity. It is
that common denominator among
the lawyers of the world which we
ought to encourage and maintain.
Those who believe in such things,
whatever their background, are
bound to oppose tyranny in what­ever
form it appears, whether in
Communism or some home-grown
variety."
Thereupon a whole session of the
convention was reserved for a dis ..
cussion of these "embarrassing in ..
cidents" and an apology was made
"to all our Negro brethren for these
incidents.''
Furthermore, the gathering de ..
cided to make a list of the estab ..
lishments which had refused serv ..
ice to the black delegates and wide ..
ly publicize them for the purpose
of discouraging patronage of these
establishments by those attending
the convention and by like-minded
Louisville Disciples of Christ. The
implication was that these local
decent owners of hotels, restau ..
rants and rooming houses who do
not open their doors to Negroes
should be boycotted.
Of course all this was done in
the name of "Christian charity, ra•
cia! tolerance and human brother•
hood" but it was no such thing
and in pretending that it was, the
Disciples of Christ were adding
hypocrisy to their other sins.
Their action· in trying to effect a
boycott against self-respecting,
free Americans was nothing short
of ecclesiastical blackmail and an
attempt to use the power of the
church in promoting Soviet ideal ..
ogy in the United States.
"Time plays tricks on old mem ..
ories," said the Wall Street Journal
on election day, November 8 "but
in at least one respect it seems
to us that this has been the poorest
political campaign of many Years.
Rarely have two candidates talked
so much and said so little ... "
There was much more to the edi ..
torial but in these few words, the
Journal put its finger on the weak ..
ness of the campaign. Neither can ..
didate said anything. Perhaps the
day will come (we hope) when at
least one of the candidates will be
a statesman, will discuss funda ..
mental issues and give the Ameri ..
can voters something to hope for.

and ag;tation among all strata of

and ask yourself, as an American,
whether or not these injunctions
have been faithfully carried out so
far as the United States is con ..

I Our October edition was off the
press and in the mails on Tuesday,
October 18th and on page 3 of that
edition under the heading of the
editorial "Savages From The Jungle
Gradually Gaining Power in the
United Nations" we said in part:
" . . . It has been noted in the
press that Khrushchev has refused
to pay Russia's part of the money
tor the expense of sending troops
tnto the Suez situation some years
ago and it is logical to suppose
that he will do likewise in the case
of the terrific expense involved in
sending troops into the Congo."
I A~~~;:t~r~~:!:r· a~~~~~e'w~lh a~
United Nations dateline said: "The
Soviet Bloc countries served notice
Friday they will refuse to pay for
any part of what they called 'the
dirty' U.N. operation in the Congo."
That fulfillment of our prediC­tion
came sooner than even we ex­pected
but at least we did not miss
our guess.
We said further in our editorial
in the paper released October 18
concerning the Soviets' probable re­fusal
to pay the Corygo expense:
"This will shift a heavy financial
burden on the shoulders of some
respectable nation which does not
repudiate its obligations and it re­quires
no genius to figure out what
nation that will be."
The Associated Press article with
the United Nations dateline refer­red
to above and which appeared
three days after our prediction said
on this subject: "It (the Soviet re·
fusal) has implications for the
United States which will ultimate­ly
pay for the major cost of the
Congo operation, estimated to
reach between $150,000,000 and
$200,000,000 by the end of 1961."
We hit the hull's eye there, too.
There is only one silver lining
to this dark cloud. The Associated
Press article hinted that the United
Nations is faced with "a long­threatened
financial crisis" and in­dicated
that "the total destruction
of the United Nations" might be in­volved
in this Soviet refusal to pay
its part.
Both contingencies are encourag­ing
- that the U. N. is running out
of money and that it may be de·
t troyed.

THE SOUTHERN CONSERVATIVE
Observations On The Recent
Election Of A President
There has perhaps never been a Presidential campaign in this
country before where practically no fundamental issues of government
were discussed by either candidate and where only extraneous and vo.te­catching
proposals and appeals to special groups and classes occupted
almost the full time and attention of both nominees.
There were no clear-cut decisions for voters to make - no choice
between a dedicated Conservative and an admitted Liberal. Both were
committed to platforms stressing Marxist policies of government, in vary­ing
degrees, and it was largely a matter of method in execution rather
than principle which was involved in either case.
There is little doubt that Mr. Nixon's capitulation to Nelson Rocke­feller
in regard to the Chicago platform, together with Mr. Lodge's
crack about a Negro in the Cabinet, smothered any hope that the seven
Southern States which went Republican in 1956 would land in Nixon's
camp in 1960.
While both candidates had a heavy burden to carry in the matter
of their running mates, Lodge was probably a greater handicap than
Johnson since the latterts native State of Texas at least squeaked by
for the Democratic ticket, while Lodge's pulling power in Massachusetts
was practically non-existent.
There were many who saw a repetition of a Dewey-type campaign
in the efforts of Richard Nixon to gain the White House. It is under­stood
that he was urged to come out slugging by Conservative Repub­licans
who wanted him to revert to the hard-hitting tactics which had
won for him in other years. But he was touched by the blight of Modern
Republicanism with which he had been associated for eight years and
seemed to have lost the spirit to wage the kind of figh t which once
knocked his opponents out of the ring.
Undoubtedly there was enough religious prejudice in the South to
~~:t~s p~~~e;rt~~s~a~e;~~e;~c~~irp:~Y:~eth~~j~~i~~ ~~d ~ebo~~!~:~~
resulted. Catholics who would not have otherwise voted for Kennedy
because of his left-wing views, laid aside all other considerations and
flocked to his banner. This was especially true in the North and East
where the Catholic faith is most predominant.
There is one lesson to be 1earned, if no other, from the results and
that is that Mr. Kennedy now has assurance that he can insult the South
with impunity and suffer little retaliation at the ballot box. He frankly
implied before his nomination that he didn't need the support of the
South and didn't particularly want it. His trips to that area during the
campaign are believed to have been made largely to save face for his
running mate and bolster the waning influence of the latter in Dixie.
Because of the brilliance, ability and resourcefulness of Mr. Robert
Kennedy, most people figure that this young man will be the power
behind the throne during the next administration and many see him as
a crafty Rasputin at the Imperial Court of the New Frontier.
The •Great Debates• Missed
Being Great By A Country Mile
We certainly hope that those chosen to make notes on human
events for the benefit of posterity do not list the Nixon-Kennedy perform­anae
on television as "The Great Debates" for if they do it will be a
direct perversion of the facts.
There was not only nothing "great" about the performances but
they were not even "debates." They were merely glorified versions of the
Meet the Press program.
In order to debate in the real meaning of the term, the two men
would have had to possess divergent views on issues of government and
to have defended them according to their earnest convictions.
As it was, they were merely two puppets dangling from the same
Marxist string and both in thorough agreement that Socialism as a policy
of government is preferable to the great Free Enterprise System on
which the American Republic was founded.
The only disagreement between them was as to which was best
qualified to give away the taxpayers' hard-earned money and to carry
out the Welfare State program which each party platform set forth at
their respective conventions.
How could any public discussion be termed "great" which hinged
on such non-government subjects as civil rights, medical care for the
aged, Federal aid to education, regulation of wages and related issues
which have been thrust to the forefront to the exclusion of relevant prob­I.
ems by do-gooders and hairbrained reformers who provide the grist fer
the legislative mill under a Socialist government?
The discussions might have attained greatness if one or the other
candidate had risen to the occasion and bitterly denounced such evils
as the prevalence of Communist sympathizers in the State Department
who shape our foreign policy; the trade policy which is ruining American
industry; inflation which is destroying the value of the American dollar
and the illegal assumption of authority by the Executive and Judicial
branches of government which is destroying the Rights of the States
and the freedom of the individual root, stock and branch.

One World Propagandists
Make Farce Of Halloween
It's too bad that the One-World
propaganda which is flooding the
country could not be stopped be·
fore getting to small children, but
it seems it can't.
All over the nation on Halloween.
youngsters were instructed to em ...
ploy this traditional fun night for
kids in raising money for "hungry
children in other lands," instead ot
making their usual "trick or treat"
demands and receiving goodies in
return. Now they boldly ask for
money or gifts to be sent overseas.
All this tom-foolery is part of
the propaganda for HOne-World
citizenship" wherein children are
enlisted in the campaign to force
Americans to think and act in terms
of the world instead of the Repub·
lie in which they live.
Churches and their misguided
ministers are largely responsible for
this making a farce of Halloween
for it was they who first suggested
that this event be turned into a
fund-raising campaign for UNICEF.

it into one big family.
It is high time that do-gooders
be told to keep their cotton·pick·
ing hands off of this celebration
of Halloween and let the kids prank
and play as they have done from
the beginning of the Republic in­stead
of unloading the burdens of
"One-World" on their frail shoul­ders.
There's plenty of time for
their minds to be infiltrated when
they have grown to be adults; let's
permit them to be children while
they can.
We agree one hundred per cent
with Mr. Lynn Landrum, Dallas
News columnist who, in an editor­ial
on the subject, said in part:
"Can't we even have Halloween
without somebody shaking us down
for something we neither know
nor understand? After all, there are
doughnuts to be paid for, candy
to be bought, Christmas cards to
be merchandised, all in the name
of this or that drive. There ought
to be one night in the shank end
of the year when little neighbors
and big neighbors can be just neigh­bors
and not cogs in a world ap­paratus
for vague purposes under
vague direction in vague amount."
